With MegaHouse and Bandai rarely releasing interesting figures these days, we’re missing out on getting some major character versions in the One Piece Portrait of Pirates and Figuarts Zero figure lines.

I’ve been talking a lot lately about spectacular One Piece figures that have already been released by Banpresto, but tonight I’m going to turn the spotlight on one that hasn’t yet been released. Sanji hasn’t exactly been relevant in the One Piece anime for the last year or more, but fans thirsting for new Sanji merch will soon have their needs met: the impressive 10″ Banpresto King of Artist Sanji figure is now available for order!

It is truly a testament to how far MegaHouse has fallen in the past years that I’m talking about a “Kabuki Monkey D. Luffy Portrait of Pirates figure” today and it’s not even the oddest One Piece POP figure I’ve talked about this week! Yes, you read this right: this article is about a Kabuki-themed PVC figure of Monkey D. Luffy. But hey, as insane as it’s going to sound, this figure is actually pretty spectacular! The limited One Piece Portrait of Pirates Kabuki Luffy figure is now up for order–should you order one?

Having been encouraged by the outstanding One Piece products that Banpresto has been releasing, I’ve somehow managed to muster the strength to talk about the latest MegaHouse One Piece Portrait of Pirates figures to go up for order.

I do my best to keep up with pre-orders for all the import toys I want in my life, but sometimes figures slip through the cracks. Such was the case with Banpresto History of Law series of figures, which I thought the chances of owning for an affordable price at this point were zero.

No, believe it or not, I have not suddenly stopped liking One Piece. Nor have I abandoned collecting One Piece figures. However, like a lot of One Piece toy collectors out there, I’m feeling abandoned myself right now, as the number of new characters and figurines coming out has dwindled to almost a halt. But hopefully things are going to be picking up in 2016 with this summer’s release of One Piece Film Gold, and as usual, the first company to capitalize on the movie is Banpresto! Coming later this year: Banpresto One Piece Film Gold WCF figures of the whole Mugiwaras crew and more!

Seeing as how the One Piece has sold 320 million copies worldwide and is the best-selling manga of all-time, it’s only natural that non-Asian merchandisers would eventually want to cash in on the series’ success. And what better company to do so than the hottest up-and-coming toy company in the world, Funko? With a first quartet consisting of Luffy, Chopper, Ace and Trafalgar Law, the Funko One Piece POP Vinyls figures are now up for order!
